1.3 Copying discs, copyright and copy protection
The Philips CD-RW or DVD+RW drive is designed to assist you in reproducing material in which you
own the copyright or for which you have obtained permission to copy from the copyright owner. Unless
you own the copyright or have permission to copy from the copyright owner, you may be violating
copyright law and be subject to payment of damages and other remedies. If you are uncertain about
your rights, contact your legal advisor.
When you are going to make a copy of your CD, follow the instructions from the copier software.
Some CD-ROMs employ copy protection techniques, so making backups of these discs is normally
not possible. You may be able to copy them, but the copy will not function because the software on
the copied CD-ROM itself performs certain checks and recognizes that it has been copied.
